Default Re: Share your roadside banana photos

Sunfish if you mean Hawaiian apple it's very possible. The Manzano that I grow has a 7-8' p-stem and looks more like the first photo from Gabe15.

The fruit bunches look very different, here are some photos.

Manzano type, 'Ungoye Sweet'


'Santa Catarina Prata'/'Dwarf Brazilian' ("Hawaiian Apple"), one of the most common varieties in Hawaii.
